Daniel 9:24KJV

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Daniel's "Future" weeks are literal days, or 490 days, if Daniel meant years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) he didn't

The command to build the wall/street in Jerusalem is "Future" that will start the 70 literal weeks

"Messiah Cut Off" is "Future" when armies surround Jerusalem as Daniel's AOD takes place in the 70th future 7 day week in completion of Daniels 70 weeks or 490 literal days

After this 70 week completion, the 3.5 year tribulation starts, it's that simple

This teaching of weeks of years found it's entrance in the church largely surrounding the writing of occultist "Sir Issac Newton" in his 1726 book (Observation Upon The Prophecies Of Daniel, And The Apocalypse Of St. John) chapter 10 as seen below

The Weeks Of Years Teaching Presented Is From Occultist "Sir Issac Newton" As Seen Below, Heavily Involved In The Occultic Kabbalah And Its Numerology, Also Occultic Rosicrucianism And Alchemy

Yes It's These Writings Of "Sir Issac Newton" That Entered The Church In 1726AD, That Claims The Day/Year Teaching Regarding Daniel's 70 Weeks Being 490 Years

Wikipedia: Issac Newton Occult Studies

Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel/Part I Chap X
Seventy weeks are cut out upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, &c. Here, by putting a week for seven years, are reckoned 490 years from the time that the dispersed Jews should be re-incorporated into a people and a holy city, until the death and resurrection of Christ; whereby transgression should be finished, and sins ended, iniquity be expiated, and everlasting righteousness brought in, and this Vision be accomplished, and the Prophet consummated, that Prophet whom the Jews expected; and whereby the most Holy should be anointed, he who is therefore in the next words called the Anointed, that is, the Messiah, or the Christ. For by joining the accomplishment of the vision with the expiation of sins, the 490 years are ended with the death of Christ. Now the dispersed Jews became a people and city when they first returned into a polity or body politick; and this was in the seventh year of Artaxerxes Longimanus, when Ezra returned with a body of Jews from captivity, and revived the Jewish worship; and by the King's commission created Magistrates in all the land, to judge and govern the people according to the laws of God and the King, Ezra vii. 25. There were but two returns from captivity, Zerubbabel's and Ezra's; in Zerubbabel's they had only commission to build the Temple, in Ezra's they first became a polity or city by a government of their own. Now the years of this Artaxerxes began about two or three months after the summer solstice, and his seventh year fell in with the third year of the eightieth Olympiad; and the latter part thereof, wherein Ezra went up to Jerusalem, was in the year of the Julian Period 4257. Count the time from thence to the death of Christ, and you will find it just 490 years. If you count in Judaic years commencing in autumn, and date the reckoning from the first autumn after Ezra's coming to Jerusalem, when he put the King's decree in execution; the death of Christ will fall on the year of the Julian Period 4747, Anno Domini 34; and the weeks will be Judaic weeks, ending with sabbatical years; and this I take to be the truth: but if you had rather place the death of Christ in the year before, as is commonly done, you may take the year of Ezra's journey into the reckoning.

ECF Clement of Alexandria recognized the weeks as years way back in the 2nd century:

Clement of Alexandria 150-215 AD (On Daniel 9:24-27 ; The 'Seventy Weeks' of Daniel)
From the captivity at Babylon, which took place in the time of Jeremiah the prophet, was fulfilled what was spoken by Daniel the prophet as follows: "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to seal sins, and to wipe out and make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal the vision and the prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. Know therefore, and understand, that from the going forth of the word commanding an answer to be given, and Jerusalem to be built, to Christ the Prince, are seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and the street shall be again built, and the wall; and the times shall be expended. And after the sixty-two weeks the anointing shall be overthrown, and judgment shall not be in him; and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary along with the coming Prince. And they shall be destroyed in a flood, and to the end of the war shall be cut off by: desolations. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the middle of the week the sacrifice and oblation shall be taken away; and in the holy place shall be the abomination of desolations, and until the consummation of time shall the consummation be assigned for desolation. And in the midst of the week shall he make the incense of sacrifice cease, and of the wing of destruction, even till the consummation, like the destruction of the oblation."

Thanks for the response!

It appears that the author saw literal weeks, and Jesus Christ fulfilled 69 weeks with the Roman's completing the 70th week in Daniel's abomination, a "Preterist" interpretation of 66-70AD

Sir Isaac New openly taught weeks of years,and further research finds his mention of early church fathers, however the mechanics of what is seen today in Daniel's 70 weeks interpretation weeks of years is "Newtons" and his exact caculations are repeated verbatim, largely gaining g a foothold in 1726 Great Britian

Thanks for the response

CHAPTER XXI.—THE JEWISH INSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF FAR HIGHER ANTIQUITY THAN THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE GREEKS.

Quote:

"thus Christ became King of the Jews, reigning in Jerusalem in the fulfilment of the seven weeks. And in the sixty and two weeks the whole of Judæa was quiet, and without wars. And Christ our Lord, “the Holy of Holies,” having come and fulfilled the vision and the prophecy, was anointed in His flesh by the Holy Spirit of His Father. In those “sixty and two weeks,” as the prophet said, and “in the one week,” was He Lord. The half of the week Nero held sway, and in the holy city Jerusalem placed the abomination; and in the half of the week he was taken away, and Otho, and Galba, and Vitellius. And Vespasian rose to the supreme power, and destroyed Jerusalem, and desolated the holy place. And that such are the facts of the case, is clear to him that is able to understand, as the prophet said."

This is total nonsense. The passage itself proves that this is ludicrous. So what is your hidden agenda? And slandering Newton to promote your agenda is plain stupid.
No slander whatsoever, Newton was heavily involved in the occult, the only thing stupid is your ignorance of this fact

The agenda is exposure of the lies concerning Daniel 9:24-27 and its interpretation

Jesus Is The Lord

Daniel 9:24-27, Seventy Literal Weeks Explained "Future"?

Daniel's 70 weeks are literal 7 day periods, or 490 literal days.

If Daniel meant 490 years he would have written

(Four Hundred Ninety Years)

Daniel had no restrictions in "Writing" exact numerology as seen below.

Daniel 6:1KJV
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

Daniel 8:14KJV
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Daniel 12:11KJV
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Below in Daniel 10:2-3 we see just another example of Daniel's literal weeks, as Daniel mourned and fasted for 3 literal weeks or 21 days.

Daniel 10:2-3KJV
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Below in Daniel 9:24-27 we see 70 literal "Future" weeks or 490 days.

When the "Future" call/commandment goes out in Jerusalem to build unto the Jewish Meshiach/Messiah that they wait for (They Denied Jesus Christ) this will start the 7 week period in preparing to build.

62 literal weeks will be in building, and Meshiach/Messiah will be cut off by the armies surrounding Jerusalem, this stops the building.

The 70th literal week will see (The Antichrist) revealed in making a covenant, and in the middle of this literal week he proclaims to be Meshiach/Messiah God to the Jews, and Jesus returned to the apostate church, to start a Millennium on earth.

The 3.5 year tribulation starts at this time.

Daniel 9:24-27KJV
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

This teaching of weeks of years found it's entrance in the church largely surrounding the writing of occultist "Sir Issac Newton" in his 1726 book (Observation Upon The Prophecies Of Daniel, And The Apocalypse Of St. John) chapter 10 as seen below

Newton was cool, he was OK.

I was working on a note about Newton just this morning that I was going to put on Christian's 70 week thread on the other forum. I decided not to send it. It was a bit long in the tooth. A bit spooky and controversial.

The translation of prophetic time, the weeks for years, didn't originate from Isaac Newton. It originated from God.

God gave the instructions to Moses during the Exodus.

“You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years.​

Weeks of years.

This was the basis for the Jubilee calendar system.

Which appears to have become a cottage industry amoungst theologians.

So when Gabriel appeared at Daniel's side and said 70 weeks are determined, Daniel knew exactly what the angel was talking about. Daniel recognized this language to mean 490 years, or 10 Jubilee cycles, would be cut off for his people.

49+49+49+49+49+49+49+49+49+49=490

Peaceful Sabbath.

I Disagree, if Daniel meant 490 years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) he didn't, he wrote (Seventy Weeks) its that simple

The standard teaching on weeks of years is adding to scripture, on something not seen

The command to build the wall/street in Jerusalem is "Future" that will start the 70 literal weeks

Why?

Where are you getting this from?

There used to be a guy on here, Bobby Jo?

He also thought the 70 weeks were literal time.

And he thought we were in the tribulation already, like I do too.

I Disagree, if Daniel meant 490 years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) he didn't, he wrote (Seventy Weeks) its that simple

Because Gabriel told him to.

Here's another way to think about this.

When Daniel finished his prayer, he said this:

"The man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice."​

Gabriel's reply:

“O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision.​

Consider the word and understand the vision.

There is no vision in Daniel 9.

Daniel and Gabriel are still talking about the vision of the previous chapter in Daniel 8 when Daniel fell ill. So Daniel 9 is an answer to that vision, an answer to the question posed in Daniel 8:

“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?”​

How long?

How long is it going to be until the Antichrist is revealed, and Christ comes to destroy him but not by human hand.

Daniel 9 contains the answer! Embedded within that enigmatic text conceals the detailed timing for when our end time Antichrist shall destroy many. When the horn power shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, taking his seat in the Temple of God, and when he shall be broken—but by no human hand.

It is the same timing for Christs' second arrival when the Antichrist will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming. But first the 70 weeks will be "cut off", (the Hebrew word chathak), from the larger prophetic time period for Daniel's original people.

Why? Because Daniel 9 is an answer to the 2300 years of the previous chapter. The 490 years are "cut off" from the larger 2300 year time period.

The standard teaching on weeks of years is adding to scripture, on something not seen

It depends on the context of the related prophecy.

Why is it written time, times and half a time, instead of simply 1260 days. It probably is because each of the three times it mentions the time, times and half a time, it's talking about the 1260 years from 538 to 1798.

That's the big one to get right.

CCGMpxr.jpg


So if the 3.5 days are 3.5 actual years and people have been tripping over the two witness laying dead in the street, the 3.5 days will be the last prophetic time period assigned to man's time on earth prior to us standing around the throne and around the Lamb.

Jesus Is The Lord

Agreed.

Peaceful Sabbath.

I disagree, the 3.5 year tribulation is future and will start after the antichrist is revealed in Jerusalem and completion of the literal 70th week

Daniel's 70 literal weeks are future, and will start at a future command to build the wall/street in Jerusalem, and the 70th week will be completed shortly after the Antichrist is revealed, at this time the 3.5 year tribulation starts

You're welcome.

Clement saw weeks of years, which is the only way that Daniel can be interpreted correctly, a lllooonnnggg time before Newton.

Thanks for the response, I don't disagree that those of the Alexandrian school hinted at Daniel's weeks of years, but Clement never clearly stated this as Newton did

Once again, thanks for the info and insight!

You're welcome bro.

I'd be interested if you could find any historical exegete up to Newton's time who did not believe in the weeks of years.

John Calvin
We now understand why the angel does not use the reckoning' of years, or months, or days, but weeks of years, because this has a tacit reference to the penalty which the people had endured according to the prophecy of Jeremiah.

One thing I know is a fact, if Daniel meant 490 years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) instead of (Seventy Weeks)

The floating 70th week of Daniel for the past 2,000 years is a fairy tale, I don't see how any person could believe that fable

Thanks for the time!

The scripture you post has absolutely no relationship to Daniel 9:27

If Daniel meant 490 years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) he didn't, he wrote (Seventy Weeks) and that's what it means, 490 Literal days, not years as many teach and believe

To believe the 69th week was completed at the death/resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the 70th week has been floating around for 2,000 years waiting to be fulfilled in the future its a fairy tale, sorta like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or Alice in wonderland

The 70 weeks are continous and unbroken, and will start with a future call to build a wall/street in Jerusalem, the 70th week will see a human man the antichrist proclaim to be God in Jerusalem, as armies surround the city in Daniel's AOD taking place, at this point the future 3.5 year tribulation starts

The false prophet will use great signs and wonders in calling fire from heaven before the antichrist, this will be used to deceive the world into taking the mark and worshipping the image

The point was that 70*7 is 490, so why didn't Jesus say 490 instead of 70*7?

Similar to why didn't Daniel say 490 instead of 70 weeks?

Just ancient idiomatic expression.

The fact is, Daniel didn't state seventy times seven, you and many others do, it's not written in the scripture, the scripture states "Seventy Weeks" its that simple

Daniel 9:24KJV

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Daniel's "Future" weeks are literal days, or 490 days, if Daniel meant years he would have written (Four Hundred Ninety Years) he didn't

The command to build the wall/street in Jerusalem is "Future" that will start the 70 literal weeks

"Messiah Cut Off" is "Future" when armies surround Jerusalem as Daniel's AOD takes place in the 70th future 7 day week in completion of Daniels 70 weeks or 490 literal days

After this 70 week completion, the 3.5 year tribulation starts, it's that simple

This teaching of weeks of years found it's entrance in the church largely surrounding the writing of occultist "Sir Issac Newton" in his 1726 book (Observation Upon The Prophecies Of Daniel, And The Apocalypse Of St. John) chapter 10 as seen below

The Weeks Of Years Teaching Presented Is From Occultist "Sir Issac Newton" As Seen Below, Heavily Involved In The Occultic Kabbalah And Its Numerology, Also Occultic Rosicrucianism And Alchemy

Yes It's These Writings Of "Sir Issac Newton" That Entered The Church In 1726AD, That Claims The Day/Year Teaching Regarding Daniel's 70 Weeks Being 490 Years

Wikipedia: Issac Newton Occult Studies

Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel/Part I Chap X
Seventy weeks are cut out upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, &c. Here, by putting a week for seven years, are reckoned 490 years from the time that the dispersed Jews should be re-incorporated into a people and a holy city, until the death and resurrection of Christ; whereby transgression should be finished, and sins ended, iniquity be expiated, and everlasting righteousness brought in, and this Vision be accomplished, and the Prophet consummated, that Prophet whom the Jews expected; and whereby the most Holy should be anointed, he who is therefore in the next words called the Anointed, that is, the Messiah, or the Christ. For by joining the accomplishment of the vision with the expiation of sins, the 490 years are ended with the death of Christ. Now the dispersed Jews became a people and city when they first returned into a polity or body politick; and this was in the seventh year of Artaxerxes Longimanus, when Ezra returned with a body of Jews from captivity, and revived the Jewish worship; and by the King's commission created Magistrates in all the land, to judge and govern the people according to the laws of God and the King, Ezra vii. 25. There were but two returns from captivity, Zerubbabel's and Ezra's; in Zerubbabel's they had only commission to build the Temple, in Ezra's they first became a polity or city by a government of their own. Now the years of this Artaxerxes began about two or three months after the summer solstice, and his seventh year fell in with the third year of the eightieth Olympiad; and the latter part thereof, wherein Ezra went up to Jerusalem, was in the year of the Julian Period 4257. Count the time from thence to the death of Christ, and you will find it just 490 years. If you count in Judaic years commencing in autumn, and date the reckoning from the first autumn after Ezra's coming to Jerusalem, when he put the King's decree in execution; the death of Christ will fall on the year of the Julian Period 4747, Anno Domini 34; and the weeks will be Judaic weeks, ending with sabbatical years; and this I take to be the truth: but if you had rather place the death of Christ in the year before, as is commonly done, you may take the year of Ezra's journey into the reckoning.
Amen!
